Who said that Daytona Beach does not draw big names??

Seems that Elvis played the Peabody Theater on Aug 9, 1956. I found this page at Elvis Presley Music that has some great Elvis Pix from the show….

I also found some great pictures from the day — so I thought I would share those with you !!

Undoubtedly the beach beauties of the day — check out the suits !!

Is this in front of the CopaCabana ??

I am diggin the whole tied shirt thing here…

My husband thinks that this is a 1955 Cadillac….

You can see the beach across the street–

Here is the motel……circa 1956

Maybe the sign says “restaurant??”

The man….

STILL TRYING TO MAKE OUT THE SIGN…

More Elvis….
